 | This picture is totally mind boggling! Five cool actors manipulated themselves into the "film of the century" to the world of Kaiser Soze. It is an ingenious plot which took control and influenced every character in many, many devious ways. The whole picture is full of grip, I was waiting to see what's next scene-by-scene...Kevin Spacey is incredible, the whole cast is incredible!!! Indeed my favorite film of all time. My tape is worned out due to numerous previews, now I need to get the DVD version. |

| Great screenwriter, great actors and great dialogue. Even Baldwin did an impressive job in this movie. But it was so boring, I couldn't keep my eyelids open. Very, very, very boring movie. I can't even emphasize it enough how boring it was! Yes, the ending was really cool, but the rest of the movie had me falling asleep. I'd rather see a very entertaining movie with a stinky ending, than a boring movie with a cool ending, any day. A cult movie is a movie with a very high repeatability factor. I wouldn't watch this twice. Maybe just to see the Jaguar at the end, love that car. |

| The Usual Suspects is a very unusual movie. It's about a man (Spacey) talking to a cop about a robbery he and is dead followers committed. Spacey talks about all the things that happened leading up to the robbery and how it happened. Its kind of hard to explain and if I say much about it that ruins the movie but u have to see it. Great plot, great acting, great everything. |

| I heard people rave about this movie, so when I popped it in and watched, it, I was surprised to find out how superficial and weak it was. There is nothing really special about this movie, other than maybe the performance by Kevin Spacey. But even that has been done before, and I can't remember anything really good or memorable about this film, other than the plot. But there is a difference between plot depth and real good plots, and smoke and mirrors. |

| Part crime caper and part action flick. Also part police procedural and part dark comedy. Kevin Spacey plays a crippled criminal who narrates a story of five criminals' greed and fear. Keyser Solze is like Jaws: he rarely shows up, you never see all of him and he kills and leaves. This creates myths and legends and a palpaple fear of unknown but certain suffering and death if he's ever crossed. He's the perfect crime boss. More implied menace than actual strong arming &, of course, noone knows what he looks like. Distinct, interesting characters and quick, intelligent pacing keep this engine humming. |
